Quick question. I have both cable and adsl internet lines runing to my location. Is there a way to set up my linux server so that people can access my gameserver/webserver from either ip address? Both accounts are using dhcp. Is this possible,or am I dreaming?
 
Yes you can but you will need two NICs. One would be eth0 and the other one eth1. If you are using an http web server such as apache, then just have it listen for all addresses on port 80. With a dynamic ip you may want to consider using a dns pointing service such as tzo, noip or dns2go to handle the ever changing ip. If your ip only changes once every few months or so, then you may want to get a service like Zone Edit at It is a free service and you can have up to 5 zones. It makes it nice to be able to change your dns records in a few minutes and have them take affect within seconds rather than days.
